Sayaji Baug - Toy Train

Toy Train

The Toy Train is a ride for children below 12 years of age. It runs on a small track width 10 inches (250 mm) covering a distance of 3.5 km giving the entire view of the garden to the children. The ride was a gift to the children of Vadodara from the royal Gaekwad dynasty.

The video for the popular song "Chakke pe Chakka, Chakke pe Gadi..." by Shankar Jaikishan from the film Brahmachari was shot on this train.
